Cybersecurity for Construction, HVAC & Trades

Scalable risk oversight for businesses using mobile devices, cloud tools, and digital payment systems.

Why Trades Use Co-Managed Cybersecurity

This approach was traditionally used in infrastructure-heavy and government-affiliated environments where downtime and payment fraud carry high financial impact. As trades adopt cloud tools, mobile devices, and digital payments, co-managed cybersecurity provides scalable risk oversight.

Primary Risks

Payment Diversion Fraud

Attackers intercept and redirect payments to fraudulent accounts.

Compromised Field Devices

Mobile phones and tablets used in the field become entry points for attackers.

Exposed Cloud Storage

Plans, contracts, and sensitive documents accessible to unauthorized users.

Vendor Impersonation

Criminals pose as suppliers or subcontractors to steal payments.
